#73: eBay Spring Seller Update For Collectibles

Published: March 27, 2015, 5 p.m.

b'The collectibles category lives on eBay.\\xa0 Amazon? Forget about it!\\xa0 Try doing it yourself with your own website?\\xa0 Good luck!\\xa0 So when eBay updates their fees and policies twice a year buyers and especially sellers need to pay attention.\\xa0 In this episode of Scouting Hot Finds Radio I am going to break down the changes eBay is rolling out to the marketplace on May 1, 2015.\\xa0 For the most part it\'s a story of carrots and sticks.\\xa0 Some of the changers are meant to entice sellers to behave in a way that eBay sees as healthy for the site.\\xa0 Other changes are meant to rap you over the knuckles if you go against the tide especially if relaunching the same auctions a dozen times was your game.\\xa0

Today\'s episode is just shy of thirty minutes long and in it I will cover the A-Z of the update.\\xa0 I will really focus on how this impacts buyers/sellers in the collectibles category where Scouting memorabilia has a home.\\xa0 At the conclusion I will also share how I think this affects me as an eBay Powerseller with an Anchor level store subscription.\\xa0 BTW, check out my store at http://www.patchblanket.com to see what I\'ve got up for sale.

As always you can listen to Scouting Hot Finds Radio (now on episode 73!) on iTunes or Stitcher Radio.\\xa0 Find more Scouting memorabilia content and all of my podcasts at http://www.scoutpatchcollectors.com.'
